I find this to be an interesting direction as well, of course it also adds a lot of dificulty in footage preperation.
It doesn't have to be difficulty, but it heavily depends on the game in question. Some games are VERY editing-friendly - in the sense that they offer great scripting, camera, and replay controls. With something like Operation Flashpoint for instance, you can make a music video or even a whole movie without ever leaving the game's (fantastic) mission editor!
Others, however, are not-so-movie-friendly. In my recent case, it was moderately unfriendly; and I find gameplay footage from most console games even more unfriendly.

"Come With Me". I think it's my favorite action video in general, actually
